Thanks a lot guys for the response. My main requirement is that it should be comfortable to drive in city. My budget is around 14L On Road. The car would be mainly be driven by me or by the driver. Very rarely it will carry 4-5 people. Storme is a nice SUV but again what I feel is that it is large and bulky to drive on narrow roads of city. So I'm not inclined much towards Storme. Regards. |

Thanks a lot all of you for the response. So going by the suggestions Scorpio is a big no no due to its space, ride quality and interiors. I was going through the Teambhp official review of Scorpio and noticed that fit and finish is not good lile exposed screws on the top of the door etc. I already have an Ecosport at home. This car will no doubt be driven in city most of the times but it will also be used for long trips. Hence I am sceptical about buying compact SUV's like Creta etc or a hatchback like S Cross or Baleno. I never liked the looks of Duster so its also out of the list. The two cars that I think people are suggesting is Storme and XUV 500. So I'll decide between these two only. Guys any other suggestions? Regards |

Pros of safari over the XUV: Space, Comfort, high seating position excellent cruising capability, a better 4X4, cheaper (possibly) Cons: Elephant like handling, lethargic in city conditions, fuel economy(highly subjective but a 2-ton vehicle for the city is bit too much) Tata service (my experience was pathetic) Pros of XUV over Safari: Features (6 airbags, ESC, Touch screen, sunroof, AT, mood lighting and the likes), Ingress-Egress, Better interiors, Punchy engine, better handling than the safari, Better city maneuverability, slightly better economy Cons: Space, comfort & 4X4 capability Between the two I would choose the cheetah (XUV). However, if you are looking at the top end variant of the XUV you may want to look at some Innova variants as well. |

| 4) Shift Map Selection The driver can manually select between normal (S) and winter modes (W) via the mode switch. Depending on the transmission temperature, uphill and downhill grades and altitude, shift maps will be selected by the TCU to suit the driving conditions. The following maps are available. ▶Normal Mode Normal Mode is selected when the lever is in the D position with the mode switch in the normal (S) position and the transmission is within normal temperature ranges. Shift schedule points are optimised for fuel efficiency and general driving conditions. ▶Uphill and Downhill Mode In this mode, depending on the load of the vehicle, adaptive shift maps are selected to progressively adjust the shift points and torque converter lock points. ▶Altitude Mode Shift points are automatically adjusted at higher altitudes to compensate for changes in engine torque where the torque produced by the engine is greatly reduced by the effects of reduced barometric pressure and temperature. ▶Winter Mode When winter mode is selected, starting in second gear is facilitated and the WINTER mode indicator light is switched ON. To prevent wheel spin on slippery surfaces, the transmission will not allow first gear unless manually overridden. ▶Low Range Schedule When the transfer case is in 4L position, the transmission uses a different shift map to optimise low range driving. Similar to winter mode, 1st gear is inhibited. The transmission may skip gears, e.g. 2-4, to optimise engine rpm. ▶Warm up Schedule Used typically when transmission fluid temperature is below 20°C. The torque converter will not lock-up below 20°C to assist in transmission warm-up. ▶Hot Mode The hot mode is progressively applied between temperatures of 110°C- 145°C. The torque converter lock-up is increased to prevent heat generation by the torque converter. As additional assistance to the hot mode, the following are activated: - Above 110°C - the electrical radiator fans are switch ON - Above 130°C - the engine torque will be reduced and the WINTER light on the instrument cluster will flash - Above 145°C - the transmission will neutralise until the fluid temperature falls below 120°C as a final protection. Activation of the hot mode inhibits other transmission performance features including uphill and downhill compensation and altitude compensation. Some degradation in shift feel may be experienced as the torque converter is not unlocked during shifting. The fluid temperature must be below 105캜 to exit all hot modes. ▶Cruise When cruise control is activated the engine ECU may request the transmission to downshift under trailing throttle conditions to increase engine braking. |

Mods - Can we please have a clean and dedicated thread to maintain all service manuals with proper index? eg. |

How is everyone's NG Scorpio doing? Thread appears pretty silent now :D |
